Some 80 early-childhood teachers and practitioners from the parishes of Clarendon and Manchester are now better qualified having successfully completed the Advancing Childhood Education Programme (ACEP).

The teachers, who completed the one-year programme, were presented with their certificates at a graduation ceremony on February 24 at the Wembley Centre of Excellence in Hayes, Clarendon.

ACEP, which was introduced in October 2013, involves collaboration with the Early Childhood Commission (ECC), the Mico University College, and United Way of Jamaica.
